No free points Although I'm not sure if you might get some with the Live Camera + Subscription pack? Or is it just a code for Uno?

[Geoff D]

Fair enough, cheers mate - can you order points online? or do you have to buy the cards that I've seen in various shops?

[Paulos G]

You can buy them over Live and it's just ooooh sooooo easy...

[Geoff D]

Excellent, thanks for the help chaps

[ChrisF]

Far too easy to top your account up!!!

[dataDave]

Yeah it's been up a week or two now.

And yes it's a remake of the one from Goldeneye/Perfect Dark

Does it have the escape route through the toilet vents ala 'Felicity'? Or is it the original 'Facility'?

[MartyG]

You can even purchase them from http://www.xbox.com/ - it's like they know or something.

The Emergence Day exclusive theme and pic for Gears is now up.

US accounts only according to Major Nelson

[VR46]

... and only available 'til 8am UK time tomorrow (it's a "I played Gears on Emergence Day" 24 hour Brucie bonus)

Sure the UK will get the same thing the Friday though ?

[Spatial]

Who knows, it'd be a bit crap if they didn't, but I've just downloaded the theme and it's stamped with "I played on Emergence Day" which would make it pretty redundant past today/tomorrow

[spagmasterswift]

Checking out the US marketplace stuff today Gears has to be the most well handled videogame launch for a long time. My excitement is at an all time high and will probably stay ramped right up until Lost planet is released in the new year (can't wait for that multiplayer demo to drop)!

Cliffy giving things the peronal touch once again - and in HD *swoon*

Any rumours on what may be going up on XBLA tomorrow ? (if anything), that "50 by the end of the year" is possibly looking optimistic ..

not heard anything but small arms and roboblitz have been on partnernet for a while now

[MartyG]

That figure was revised in an interview with Greg Canessa on Major Nelson's podcast two weeks ago, he said that around 40 was more likely now.

Edit - And it was also mentioned there are about 85 in development.
